Lu Mingfei: Hogwarts repeater

Chapter 118 You don’t even dare to call him Voldemort
Mr. Ollivander is used to measuring various physical data of every customer who comes to buy a wand.

According to him, this is to make the wand more suitable for the user, but Lu Mingfei found out when he first came here that this was not reliable at all. It was just Mr. Ollivander's marketing method to make customers think he was more professional. .

Just spend half an hour with the locksmith unlocking the door and sweat it out, and then the customer will feel that their money was well spent. And if it is opened in a few clicks, customers may even be unwilling to pay.

The same goes for buying wands. If you just hand one over as soon as you enter the store, customers will just think it's sloppy... Lu Mingfei watched Harry trying various wands under the command of Mr. Ollivander. think.

Soon there was almost a mountain of wands that Harry had tried.

Just when Lu Mingfei was about to lose his patience in urging, Mr. Ollivander was keenly aware of this and took the initiative to end the "waste of time worth the money" link and took out a box from the shelf.

"Holly wood, phoenix feathers, eleven inches long, I don't think there is anything more suitable for you than this."

Lu Mingfei watched as Harry took the wand. The tip of the wand lit up like fireworks, and the dancing light spots illuminated the entire Ollivander's wand shop.

"Very good! Interesting, so interesting!" Mr. Ollivander laughed and clapped.

"Phew, it's okay, I thought it would be like me..." Lu Mingfei breathed a sigh of relief.

"Does mine have any similar brother's wand, or has it done any great things?"

"I remember every wand I sold. The wand owned by Mr. Harry Potter has the same phoenix tail feather as the core of the wand that gave him the scar on his forehead. , from the same Phoenix.”

It's normal, after all, that was the closest time his family's inheritance was facing severance... If the explosive ball of light released by Lu Mingfei really exploded, even the inventory of wands carried by Ollivanders would be turned into ashes. Got it!
"Ahem, I didn't mean that, I just didn't expect that situation to happen. Mr. Ollivander, it's not like you don't know." Lu Mingfei coughed twice and explained quickly.

"There is still such a thing, what about my one?" Lu Mingfei asked curiously. He suspected that this was another marketing method of Ollivander.

I don’t know whose wand those dragon heartstrings were used on, as well as those dragon leather gloves and dragon blood...

Lu Mingfei quickly changed the subject: "By the way, Mr. Ollivander, what do you mean by 'interesting' just now? Is there anything special about Harry's wand?"

"Don't tarnish my reputation in front of my juniors!"

Basically every little wizard who reaches the age and is about to enter Hogwarts will come here to get their own wand, which usually stays with them for life. "

Obviously, he is still brooding about what Lu Mingfei did back then.

Mr. Ollivander snorted coldly.

Lu Mingfei thought of the fire dragons he accidentally killed during training, and his tone suddenly became a little sad.

Lu Mingfei gave Harry a French military salute with a dry smile, asked Harry to leave seven gold galleons, and quickly took Harry away.

Ollivander looked at Harry and said softly, "The owner of that wand has done great things, and you, Mr. Harry Potter, I think you will do great things too."

Harry couldn't help but shrink back. Wasn't the wand that left the scar on him the same as Voldemort?

"The materials and craftsmanship required to make the wand cost more than this."

"Of course not, because most of these materials are provided by Hogwarts...

On the way, Lu Mingfei told Harry about the wand.

"Not everyone is like you, who wants to blow up the wand shop as soon as they get the wand, Mr. Lu Mingfei." Mr. Ollivander immediately became serious.

"If that's the case, won't Mr. Ollivander lose money?" Harry asked.

"You have already done something great, Mr. Lu Mingfei! And your wand is the only one in the world, because the only fire dragon king in the world has gone to see the God of Death long ago!" Mr. Ollivander said angrily.

"The price of a wand at seven gold galleons is actually a discount for Hogwarts students."

The fire dragon is really valuable. There are treasures everywhere in his body.

If it weren't for the fact that he could turn into a dragon, Lu Mingfei would probably have wanted to become a fire dragon hunter.

The next place they arrived was Flourish and Blotts Bookstore.

"Do we still need to buy books?" Harry asked.

"No, the [Copy of the Top Student's Textbook] I provided for you is much better than these blank textbooks... You will definitely not be disappointed. As for other extracurricular books, you can basically find them in the Hogwarts library. "

Lu Mingfei shook his head, "But we can still go into the bookstore and have a look. What if there are any new good books?"

He took Harry into the bookstore. In view of the commotion caused at the Leaky Cauldron, Lu Mingfei had already rearranged Harry's hairstyle and covered the iconic lightning scar with bangs.

No one can recognize Harry without the lightning scar, which shows that Harry's commercial value has not been developed at all... For Lu Mingfei, this is undoubtedly good news. However, developing commercial value is easy to say, but difficult to implement in practice, because Harry is only an eleven-year-old boy.

Lu Mingfei must consider that while developing value, he must also avoid affecting Harry's normal growth. After all, public figures are under a lot of pressure.

If he couldn't take both things into account, even if Harry wanted to, Lu Mingfei would feel bad.

With such thoughts, Lu Mingfei quickly noticed a familiar face among the customers in Flourish and Blotts Bookstore. It was a man with light blond hair, cold gray eyes and a pale pointed face, holding a cane.

Lucius Malfoy, Lu Mingfei recognized this person because he was one of the trustees of Hogwarts and could be considered a financial sponsor.

It's just that the relationship between Lu Mingfei and this financial owner is not good.

It wasn't that Lu Mingfei was dishonest, but that Lucius Malfoy had always stood in a position of clear opposition to Professor Dumbledore.

Anyone who is an enemy of Professor Dumbledore is naturally an enemy of Lu Mingfei.

Not to mention that Lucius Malfoy was once one of Voldemort's Death Eaters, and even the main force.

But after Voldemort disappeared, he used his pure-blood family's identity and financial influence to whitewash himself as being "controlled by the Imperius Curse" and became a member of the upper class of the British wizarding world, and he was still prospering. .

Lucius was accompanied by a child. The hair, eye color and even face shape are exactly the same as his.

"Ah, isn't this the famous Mr. Lu Mingfei who just appeared in Muggle newspapers and the Daily Prophet?"

Lucius also noticed Lu Mingfei and walked forward with his son in hand, with a sneer on his face and a deliberately protracted tone, making him appear yin and yang.

"So it turns out that Hogwarts' funds were used by you on a rich fight?"

"Lucius Malfoy." Lu Mingfei smiled, his tone indifferent.

"Anyway, part of the money spent is from you. This is the first time I've seen someone spend money on someone who can't stand it, and still laugh."

"I think I will see Dumbledore's explanation letter soon. I wonder what the reason for this ridiculousness will be?" Lucius said tit for tat and sneered.

"I think you probably don't realize the seriousness of the problem. If there is no reasonable explanation this time, then the funding in the future..."

"Oh, there's no need to bother Professor Dumbledore. If you want to explain, I can give it to you now." Lu Mingfei raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Of course it was to deal with your master... Sorry, correction, old master. I forgot that you have been cleared. Although the clumsy method may be visible to even a fool, it is already clever enough for you."

Lucius's face immediately darkened. He thought he was already a decent and honorable person, but Lu Mingfei's words exposed the most humble period of his life.

"You can't always use...him as an excuse!"

"You don't even dare to call him Voldemort, or are you more accustomed to calling him a Death Eater? What is his name, the Dark Lord?" Lu Mingfei smiled contemptuously.

Being able to speak bad words will naturally lead to a sharp tongue. These two skills are connected to a certain extent, but Lu Mingfei rarely needs to use this skill.

The most classic and most useful technique of the poisonous tongue is to seize the point where the opponent will break the defense and hold on to it.

"A sharp tongue can't save you." Lucius forced himself to calm down, "After that..."

"Oh, I'm not just sharp-tongued. Since you mentioned this... then, unless you are ready for a wizard duel, just keep your mouth shut." Lu Mingfei said lazily.

The rest of Lucius's words were stuck in his throat, a blush appeared on his pale face, and he was really speechless for a moment.

Lu Mingfei's eyes fell on Lucius's son, "Is this your son? What do you call him?"

"Draco Malfoy," Draco said with his head held high.

"What are you going to do?" Lucius suddenly pulled Draco behind him and asked coldly.

"Don't be nervous, Mr. Lucius, I'm not an unscrupulous person like you. Adult matters will be resolved by adults and will not fall on minors. Besides, I think your son still seems to be saved."

Lu Mingfei smiled and said, "Mr. Lucius, for the sake of the past and future funding, I will give you two pieces of advice.

First, your information may not be very good. Maybe you should ask about what happened in Albania. I'm curious about what choices you will make after knowing this.

Secondly, I heard that intermarriage among pure-blood families is extremely frequent, and marriage between close relatives can easily lead to genetic diseases...

I think you, father and son, look so pale. I guess it's not because of poor diet, or because you're wearing makeup on purpose, right? "
